Stuck in the mud.

Diving into the unknown.

So to lead on from last week, my plan was to reduce the number of ideas from 100 down to 25. To do this I sent around 20 people a copy of the 100 ideas and to mark down which ones they liked, by sending everyone their own copy it would mean that their decisions …
